Dialog Scene That Reacts To Clicks
Hi,
I'm very new to ActionScript and use Flash MX version 6.0. I've been searching the web for hours for help, but couldn't find an answer.
I want to create a movie in which two persons talk to each other. There is no sound, there are just speech bubbles that appear after each other. I had no problem doing this with simple keyframes.
Now as everybody has a different reading speed I want to give the user the possibility to click (either a button, or just on the screen) and get the next bubble displayed. Like in dialog scenes in games.
From what I read so far it might be a good idea to make movieclips or scenes out of my single dialog parts. I just don't what which is better and what to do with it then.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks
Sandra

Animation That Reacts To Sound?
is it possible to do this with flash?
I was thinking it would be cool to have my site intro just be my logo bumping to some music.
I guess you could try and just sync the movements with the BPM, but that would be a pain in the ass.
Thanks.

Orbiting Text That Reacts To Mouse
What I'm looking for is an example or tutorial on how to create an orbit of different text fields that react to the mouse on(rollOver) so that which ever text field you put your mouse on, moves to the front of the orbit. My searches only bring up how to orbit individual characters of a word, but I want multiple words orbiting a sphere. I've seen it done before, and I'm pretty sure it was on Flash Kit, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'll keep trying the forum search which is timing out for me right now.
Thank you in advnace.

Flash Header Which Reacts To Page Url
Hi all,
I recently started re-developing my site and first off decided to do it full flash, however now after doing some more research I've found that this will cause a lot of problems when it comes to SEO, so now the design is going to be changed to a mix of flash and php.
My question is.. the original flash had an onRollover function and a onRelease function set up for buttons home, services, portfolio and contact and changed their properties depending on which button was clicked and also disables the selected button, is there any way of telling flash where it is via url and performing the same action rather than it re-loading default values every time a new page is click.
Im sure there has to be a quick way around this but cant seem to find anything anywhere.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

Loading A External In A Parent Which Is In A MC Which Reacts To A Button...
Me again
www.lynx.ch/hw/menu.html
Reacting to the buttons its an MC. If you click Portofolio and get there you will see that a external swf its playing. But this is loading in the moment the main file its opened. What I want to achieve is that the external file loads just in the moment the portofolio button its pushed. The same for the other sections. When I push the links button another external file it is loaded.
the script to which the buttons react is
ButtonPortofolio.onRelease = function() {
FrontMC.easeMe(348, undefined, 10);
backMC.easeme(400, undefined, 15);
If anybody has an advise, please let me know
Thanks

[F8] Creating A Button That Reacts Differently Based On Time
I am trying to get a button to react differently based on the amount of time it is held down. Meaning if I press and release the button it will, let’s say, got to a certain frame. But if I press and hold the button for 10 seconds it will bring you to a different frame, or start an animation. I’m still very new to flash and I am not having any luck finding an example like this in any of the books I have. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Custom Cursor That Reacts To Mouse Interactive Zones,
I have a custom cursor, so I have lost the pointer icon changing to a hand icon when it is over a symbol with mouse interactivity.
So I am trying to think of ways of getting the custom cursor react as such.
Is there a property that represents when the mouse is over an interactive symbol?
Otherwise, every single interactive symbol will need to detect mouseOvers and change the Cursor_MC. I am really hoping to avoid this as I have many many mouse-interactive symbols and hunting them out will be painful.

Function Reacts Differently If Value Passed In As Variable And Not Hard Coded
Ok, i have a function that is moving a mc in a spiral.
Here is the code:
Code:
//rotz(dot, 300, 300, .1, 1.004);
rotz(dot, origin_1_x, origin_1_y, .1, 1.004);
function rotz(who,cx,cy,spd,exp){
trace("first x "+who._x);
trace("cx "+cx);
dx = (who._x -cx) * exp;
dy = (who._y -cy) * exp;
trace("dy "+dy);
trace("equation " +(cx+((Math.cos(spd) * dx -(Math.sin(spd) * dy)))));
who._x = cx+((Math.cos(spd) * dx -(Math.sin(spd) * dy)));
who._y = cy+((Math.sin(spd) * dx +(Math.cos(spd) * dy)));
trace("second x "+who._x);
}
right now i have origin_1_x set to 300, so it should act the same as if i had 300 hardcoded (which is currently commented out).
When I hard code 300 in there it works great. but since i will let the user decide what the origin will be, i want to pass a variable instead.
currently, when i hardcode 300 in this is my trace output:
first x 246.95
cx 300
dy -66.3644
equation 253.629273943845
second x 253.6
However, when i pass the variable instead, this is my output
first x 246.95
cx 300
dy -66.3644
equation 300-46.3707260561545
second x 246.95
x gets passed in just fine (as cx is 300), however, the assignment of changing the value of who._x doesn't work at all. and the equation brings back a different result...
anyone else encounter something like this before?
any ideas?
thanks

[scroll] Scroll That Reacts To The Mouse Wheel
Hy guys,
Do you know how can I make a scrollable text that reacts to the mouse wheel. Here you can see an example: link here
Look at the news section, or at the about us section.
The majority oh the text scrollers on the web didn't react at the mouse wheel. I found this site and I was surprised when I found that I can scroll with my mouse wheel.
Hope some one knows how they do that.
Thx.

TEXT Button ONLY Reacts On Hovering Over TEXT
Hey guys..
I have a menu with different links (music, graphics etc..)
But the buttons are just plain text, that I converted into movie clips.
The thing is, when you hover over the text, it's only when you touch the actual letters, that the actionscript responds.
For an example; the white space inside an e doesn't respond to the actions.
How do I fix this?
Thank you so much!

FF Reacts Weird With "www"
So I'm building this site: http://www.steamitclean.com/catalog
For some odd reason when you view the site in FF at this address:
http://www.steamitclean.com/catalog/
the Flash navigation disappears.
but when you view it a this address:
http://steamitclean.com/catalog/
it shows up. I'm using the swf object to embed the code. It was setup with the original flash code but I changed it hoping it would fix the problem but I got no luck.
Everything works perfect in IE for both "http://" & "http://www".
Anyone experienced anything like this ever?

Transparent Dialog Box
Iv been looking all over in the movies / tutorials and cant find what I am looking for.
I wanted my site to have the same background and on mouse release of the download button for example, have that page just open up a slightly transparent dialog box with transparent scroll bar and links / text / graphics etc in it.
I found a .fla with one thats kind of sloppy but when you click downloads it opens up but then when you click members it opens the members page on top of the downloads (and you can still see the downloads page behind it.
I'd rather just find a new .fla to see how its made unless someone here is kind enough to teach me.

Save As Dialog
Hi everybody.
I'm a beginner in Flash and I'm trying to make a Projector that works like a picture gallery.
What I need is that the user is able to save a picture on from the CD to his computer. I've seen several press CD's that were made in flash and have that option (The user clicks on the Save button in the movie, and the Save As dialog for the selectd picture appears).
Now, I've succeded in doing it with a .bat file and fscommand. But, by doing that I have to make a .bat file for every picture and the DOS prompt window appears every time I call the command.
Is there another way of calling a Save As dialog? I assume there is because on other CD's there are no .bat files and they still have the Save As dialog option.
Pleas help. Thank You.
P.S. I'm using Macromedia Flash MX.

[F8] Dialog Box In ActionScript 3
I'm not having much luck figuring out how do create a dialog box in ActionScript 3. I'm working in an AS3 project (there's no Flex being used) and I'm trying to create a simple dialog box.
I've added the framework.swc to the library path and can now see/access the PopUpManager, TitleWindow, etc. but I can't get anything to show up on screen. Every tutorial I find online for using these classes in AS3 are centered around Flex. Can anyone tell me how to create a simple dialog or point me to a good tutorial or book? I would greatly appreciate it.

Selection Dialog Box
I am writing in AS 2.0 and need a dialog box.
I originally wanted to add radiobuttons to an alert, and realised that was a no-go.
I the messed around with the window component for a while, but I can't seem to add components to the window either dynamically or otherwise. All I can do with the window is load an external swf.
Is there an obvious way to prompt a user for a choice (of 8 in this case)?

Modal Dialog In As3?
I have a game I'm working on where I need to prompt the user for a yes/no answer. I need a modal dialog! Minimally, it should let me prompt the user for a yes/no answer. It also prevents interaction with any component or movie on the screen behind it. Ideally, it would let me specify a few different buttons.
In a perfect world, it would also be easy to use and stylable.
Can anyone recommend a good script for this?

Alert Dialog?
So I'm working on a project in Actionscript 3.0 using Flash CS3. I've come to a point where I'd really like to just quickly and easily give the user a confirmation box. In actionscript 2.0 I could do this using the Alert class in mx.controls. However it seems no similar control exists in actionscript 3.0, and any amount of googling just leads me to actionscript 2.0 references or flex references.

Dialog Box Questions
I have a dialog box type object that displays fine and hides when I hit the button, but my problem is that I don't want to add an event listener for the dialog click. Instead, there is a function waiting on the answer for the yes or no. I notice AS2 has sleep(), which I could have used here. It looks like it is gone. Is there an equivalent way to keep delaying until the dialog is clicked?
Many thanks for any input!

Customizable Dialog Box
I'm a new user and I'm trying to create a simple flash dialog box.
I have a button that, when clicked, opens a confirm message box (a movieclip I realised). The possible answers are "Ok" and "Cancel". If "Ok" an action is performed. In both cases the dialog box is closed.
The problem is that I don't know how to get from the calling script the option selected in the dialog box:
Button script:
on (release) {
// Call the function for the confirmation
_root.request("Delete item?");
}
Function:
function request(message) {
// Attach the dialog box and name it curRequestWin
_root.attachMovie("requestWin", "curRequestWin", 100);
// Set the text
curRequestWin.testo.text = messaggio;
// Close dialog box
curRequestWin.removeMovieClip();
// Returns the choice
return(_root.requestResult);
}
Button OK in the dialog box:
on (release) {
_root.requestResult = "ok";
}
Well, the function returns nothing, I think because the scripts are asyncronous and the return instruction is performed before the user can click OK.
I'd like a simple solution like a messagebox in VB but I couldn't find anything
Thanks in advance
